Chapter 2816: Great Changes in Xuanming State (4 more)
Du Qingchen finally returned.
But no one knows.
For many people, he is hope and expectation. For more people, they only think that he is dead and just a flash in the pan. In the long river of history, monsters and geniuses are like shooting stars, just blooming.
, and then passed away quietly, this is a normal thing.
Du Qingchen came to Xuanming Prefecture quietly. Outside the city, he changed his appearance.
After a hundred years of seclusion, a full ten years had passed outside. He also wanted to know how loyal his subordinates were to him during his absence.
In his two lifetimes, he has seen too many people. When he is here, he can control those people, but what about when he is not there?
Everything is hard to say.
He himself didn't have much confidence in this.
Naturally, he didn't want to see these people betray him because of his departure.
But if such a thing really happened, he didn't think it would matter.
This is life, this is what life is really like.
There is a saying that goes well, it's not that you won't betray, it's just that the stakes for betrayal are not heavy enough.
But when he arrived outside Xuanming City, he was intercepted.
The group of people, with their swords unsheathed, were extremely wary of him. The leader was actually an early stage Immortal Lord.
"Who is coming?"
Du Qingchen stopped, looked at the group of people in front of him, frowned and said: "I'm just a casual cultivator. I've been passing by and want to enter the city."
"Rogue cultivator?"
The leading Immortal Master stared at Du Qingchen with some vigilance: "Bring out your identity certificate."
ah?
Du Qingchen was stunned: "What proof of identity?"
"If you don't have identification, you can't enter the city."
"Why?"
"Because we suspect that you are a spy from the Gu Yue Kingdom, Xuanming Prefecture has been sealed off. Anyone without identification is not allowed to enter."
The powerful Immortal Master's surname was Liu, and his name was Liu Hai. At this time, he looked at Du Qingchen with a serious look on his face.
Du Qingchen was so confused that Monk Zhang Er was confused.
Ancient Moon Country?
What the hell is this?
He sighed: "Everyone, what happened in Xuanming State? Why is it related to the Ancient Moon Kingdom? What is the Ancient Moon Kingdom?"
"You don't know Gu Yue Kingdom? I think you're just pretending, right?"
Liu Haidao.
Du Qingchen became even more confused.
This Liu Hai is just the leader of the city patrol, but he is actually in the early stage of Immortal Lord. In ten years, when did such masters appear in Xuanming Prefecture, and such masters actually came to patrol the city. It can be seen that the city may really be sealed off now.
He wouldn't believe it even to death. The leaders of the city patrols here have all become immortals. If this is normal, it shows how powerful Xuanming State is.
That's simply impossible.
In the Cangyun Realm, no matter where you are, it is impossible for a strong Immortal Realm to patrol the city.
"I'm not pretending, I just want to ask, is the current lord of Xuanming City still Li Yuanqiang?"
Du Qingchen asked.
"Of course it's City Lord Li. Aren't you a casual cultivator? How do you know the name of the City Lord? I think you are probably a spy from Gu Yue Kingdom. You are here to spy on the military situation. Come on, give him to me.
Catch him."
Liu Hai gave an order, and behind him, a group of powerful Immortal Emperors immediately rushed towards Du Qingchen.
Damn it!
At war?
Du Qingchen seemed to understand somewhat.
Now that he didn't know the specific situation in the city, he naturally couldn't hurt anyone. It would be bad if he hurt one of his own. So, with a sway of his body, he turned into a sword light and threw himself into Xuanming City in an instant.
A group of people were dumbfounded.
Isn't this too fast?
"Senior Liu, this man is a sword cultivator."
One person said carefully.
Liu Hai also frowned and said: "You patrol the city carefully. I have to report to the city lord. Remember, don't let anyone enter the city at will. If there is any situation, call someone immediately."
After saying that, Liu Hai turned around and shot into the city.
At this time, Du Qingchen was already walking on the streets of the city.
There was a bleak and tense atmosphere in the city. There were not many pedestrians, and they were all in a hurry and had worried faces.
Du Qingchen was full of doubts and found a teahouse where there were quite a few guests.
After arriving at Lou Cha, Du Qingchen looked around a few times and came to the window seat. There was an old man sitting there. He was in the golden fairyland. To be honest, this realm had no status at all here, but starting from the old man
Judging from his attire, he can be considered a wealthy man.
Du Qingchen sat opposite the old man. When the old man saw him, he immediately looked at him cautiously.
"Don't be nervous, I'll just drink tea and ask you some questions."
"You, what do you want to know?"
The old man became even more nervous.
Du Qingchen took out a ring and pushed it in front of the old man. It was relatively quiet here and no one noticed them.
The old man didn't dare to take it.
"Let's take a look."
Du Qingchen smiled.
The old man hesitated for a while, and finally took the ring, but after just one glance, his expression changed drastically.
One hundred million fairy crystals.
For him, this was a huge sum of money. He immediately put away the ring and looked around carefully, then lowered his voice and said: "Whatever the senior wants to know, the junior will tell you everything."
.”
For the sake of money, he has no so-called principles.
Besides, Du Qingchen is currently in the late stage of Immortal Emperor and is much higher than his level, so he doesn't dare not cooperate well.
Du Qingchen said: "I am originally from Xuanming Prefecture. I have gone out to practice for ten years. I just came back. What happened in the city? Why is everyone so nervous?"
He asked straight to the point.
When the old man heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "So that's it. Senior has not been in Xuanming Prefecture for ten years. I don't know that the situation here is normal. Now our Xuanming Prefecture is at war with Gu Yue Kingdom. The two sides have already fought a war."
It’s been a month, and there have been countless casualties. Many masters have died in the battle. I heard that the Ancient Moon Kingdom has recently received the support of the Sword Sect, the largest sect in the Ancient Moon Kingdom, and has added a large number of sword cultivators. It will make a comeback in the near future.
Now for our Xuanming Prefecture, there are many dangers. Although we have an alliance with the Holy Fire Prefecture and they have given us a lot of support, the future is still difficult to determine, hey!"
Du Qingchen was stunned for a while after hearing this.
"Why did Guyue Kingdom invade Xuanming Prefecture?"
The old man said: "I heard that Gu Yue Kingdom experienced a civil strife ten years ago, and the monarch there was very warlike. After he became the monarch, he has been recharging his energy and recruiting talents. After ten years of development, they want to
To expand their territory, they invaded us."
Du Qingchen asked again: "Then who has the final say in Xuanming Prefecture now? Li Yuanqiang?"
"No, it is co-hosted by City Master Li and Building Master Wu."
"Master Wu? But Wu Laoliu?"
"Yes."
The old man said: "It seems that the seniors also know about them. In the past ten years, our Xuanming State has developed very fast, and people frequently break through to the Immortal Realm. I heard that the reason why the monarch over there invaded is not just
It’s because we want to expand our territory, but it’s because of a woman from our Xuanming Prefecture.”
